Known Issues------------None, but it hasn't been extensively tested. Vampire compatibility hasn't been tested at all. Please let me know if you find any bugs.

Mod Conflicts-------------This mod will conflict with any other mod that alters the Elder race and the ElderVampire race or the NakedHandsOld ArmorAddon (unlikely).

Install-------Drop the EldersOfSkyrim.esp into your data folder and make sure its activated in the launcher.

Uninstall---------Delete the EldersOfSkyrim.esp from your data folder. If you have created a character using this race, you will no longer be able to use them.
